Division 54 triumphed in December’s Reindeer Games charity challenge, earning the top spot and $1,000 to donate to the charity of their choice. Over three festive days Division 54, (a.k.a. Team Prancer) danced over the competition in games, trivia and holiday decorating contests, winning by more than 100 points!

But their holiday spirit didn’t stop there. Throughout December, Division 54 also partnered with Families Helping Families of the Midlands, adopting local families in need. Their involvement went far beyond buying and wrapping gifts for family members. They worked hands-on, assisting with data entry, working the phone bank and supporting operations in the warehouse.

The experience was both humbling and heartbreaking. The need among families this year was overwhelming, and despite best efforts, limited resources meant not every family could be adopted. While the goal is always to support every family, the high volume this year made that impossible.

Witnessing this firsthand inspired the team to donate their Reindeer Games' winnings to Families Helping Families. Even a few extra dollars can make a meaningful difference, helping the organization move closer to its mission of ensuring every family experiences the joy of opening a gift during the holidays. Because sometimes, even the smallest gift is a powerful reminder that someone cares.
